Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 34

Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to put a reclining chair in the yard where there was sunshine, and then went into the wing room, "Gu Weiwei, help your son to enjoy the sun in the yard, I have customized a reclining chair for your son, Just let your son lie on it, so that he can breathe fresh air and bask in the sun, which is good for his health."

As long as it is good for his prince's health, Gu Yu is willing to do it.

Xiao Yilin has been bored in the room these days, and wanted to go out to get some air, so he asked Gu Yu to help him out of the room.

He saw a strangely shaped object in the sunny part of the yard, it should be the reclining chair Mr. Chu mentioned.

Gu Yu helped him to the reclining chair, Xiao Yilin saw that the reclining chair was still covered with a thick layer of cushions, and sighed in his heart that Mr. Chu is really careful.He carefully laid down on the cushioned recliner and let out a long breath.Bathed in the warm sunshine, breathed in the fresh air, so comfortable.

Gu Yu saw his prince lying comfortably on the strange-looking chair, looked around the reclining chair and said, "My lord, this is a custom-made reclining chair drawn by Mr. Chu himself. It looks really good."

Xiao Yilin opened his eyes and looked at the blue sky with a few white clouds floating, and sighed, now he truly felt that he would not die and could enjoy life.

Jing Yi walked into the yard, looked at Xiao Yilin's face and said, "From now on, Mr. Xiao, basking in the sun for a while every day will help his body recover."

Sunbathing can promote the absorption of calcium, etc., with many benefits.

Xiao Yilin stood up and said, "Thank you Mr. Chu for being so thoughtful."

Jing Yi also got all the custom-made tools back.She took out the iron plowshare and plow shaft and Qiao Hong started to assemble them together.

Xiao Yilin watched the young man fiddling with things in the yard and asked, "Young Master Chu, what is this?"

Jing Yi turned her head back and said: "This is a plow for plowing. I saw that the plows commonly used by everyone are not very useful, the efficiency is too low, and the depth of plowing cannot be reached, so I designed a plow myself. This plow It can increase the depth of the cultivated land, and it can save the labor of the oxen pulling the plow.”

Xiao Yilin was quite interested when he heard it, "Oh, is it really that useful?"

If it is really what the boy said, then this plow can be passed on.The imperial courts of all dynasties have attached great importance to farming, which is related to the development of the country.If more practical agricultural tools can be invented, it will be really good for the country and the people.

Jing Yi smiled and said, "Young Master Xiao can go and have a look when the time comes to plow the land."

Of course Jing Yi is confident, because she stands on the shoulders of giants and was born in the age of advanced information.Her insight was invaluable to the ancients.

In the afternoon, Wang Xuhuai came to look for Jing Yi, "Young Master Chu, I have already told the people in the village that you want to hire short-term labor to open up wasteland. Many people have signed up. Here is the list."

Seeing that almost every family has signed up, Jing Yi is very happy, and now the workers who open up land will no longer have to worry, "Uncle Wang, I am your junior, you can just call me Jing Yan or Yan Geer from now on, and you don't have to be so ostentatious." .”

Wang Xuhuai was not polite anymore, "Okay, I will call you Jingyan from now on."

Jing Yi said: "Uncle Wang, my tools for land reclamation are ready and ready to start work at any time."

Wang Xuhuai nodded, "The crops in the field are almost finished, let them come to you tomorrow."

Most of the land is now privately owned.Wealthy families may have more fields, but some poor farmers may have very few fields, or even none at all.

In this era, even wasteland has to be bought with money.It's just that the price is lower and the tax will be exempted for three years.

But some families have little money to buy wasteland and have no money.So although it is the autumn harvest season, many families with few fields will soon finish harvesting the grain in the fields.

Afterwards, many people will go out to find part-time jobs to supplement their families.Now there is an opportunity to make money right at home, and no one wants to miss it.

After seeing off the village head, Jing Yi, he installed the tools with Qiao Hong to ensure that they could be used tomorrow.

The next day, Jing Yi set up a table at the gate of her courtyard, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and took out the list of registrations to be called, and everyone would register as much wasteland as they wanted, and then divide the tools.

Jing Yi is now thankful that she practiced brush calligraphy for a period of time in order to complete a task in her previous life, so she doesn't know how to write now.

However, traditional characters were mostly used in ancient times, and Jing Yi also bought some books to learn traditional characters during this time.Otherwise, it will be difficult to prescribe medicine for others.

Wang Xuhuai also came to help maintain order. Looking at the chaotic crowd, he said: "This year, Mr. Chu hired everyone to open up wasteland, so that everyone can have an extra income. Mr. Chu's wages are not low, and whoever does more will get more." .But the fields must be cleaned up. Those who are unqualified will not be paid. If anyone cheats and cheats, he will be directly dismissed and will not be hired again."

Xiao Yilin learned that the young man hired villagers to open up wasteland and let Feng Zhi go out to help town the place, so as to prevent anyone from bullying him because he was young.

With Feng Zhi standing aside and Wang Xuhuai beating him, the villagers did not criticize.

After Jing Yi came to Yunxi Village, she became famous for deworming the villagers. Many girls in the village had seen her, and they were all impressed by her handsome appearance, and they all secretly agreed with her.

If she can marry into the Chu family, not only can she live a good life, but she can also help the family.So now Jing Yi has many little fans in Yunxi Village.

At this time, many little girls stood aside and looked at Jing Yi, each of them wanted to let Mr. Chu take a look at them, in case Mr. Chu caught his eye.

Jing Yi is extremely busy, but she has no time to watch a group of little girls.After counting the tools, she took the workers to the wasteland, and directly measured how much wasteland the family wanted to open.

Most land reclamation is based on the family unit, and the area of ​​land reclamation is different for each family, and the final settlement is based on the area of ​​land reclamation.

At the beginning, each family didn't want much, usually two or three acres.

Some families have a large population, and even the children of the family come to participate in land reclamation, helping to gather the weeds to the place designated by Jing Yi.

Jing Yi asked everyone to gather the weeds in one place to dry, and after drying, burn them and return them to the field.These plant ashes are also a kind of fertilizer, which can increase the content of potassium in the field.

Feng Zhi didn't follow to the wasteland. Seeing that everyone had gone to the wasteland, he went back to the wing room and told his lord what was going on outside, "Young master, this Mr. Chu is making a big battle. Almost everyone in the village has come to participate in the wasteland reclamation." Yes. The salary is quite high.

This Mr. Chu is really popular. The little girls in the village were all blushing and shy when they saw Mr. Chu, and they all wanted to go to Mr. Chu.I heard some villagers mumbling that they wanted to marry their daughters to Mr. Chu. "

Gu Yu said: "There's nothing unusual about this. Mr. Chu is so handsome, he is also skilled in medicine, young and promising, and his family background is not bad. Doesn't he attract those little girls in the village? If you marry into the Chu family, you will be in Fu Wo. In the future, I can still help the family, so there must be many people thinking about it."
